S-M-I-L-E Oh you make the corners of my mouth defy gravity S-M-I-L-E This is how I'll say thank you for inspiring me You may never get a million bucks for giving yourself away But you're richer, Because of you, somebody’s smiling today Gratitude is a 5 figure sum that's spelt S-M-I-L-E It’s a priceless way for me to say thank you S-M-I-L-E Oh you make the corners of my mouth defy gravity S-M-I-L-E This is how I'll say thank you for inspiring me You are probably a very busy person with many busy things to do Thank you for putting somebody else’s needs into your to-do list Oh you keep this old world spinning with your selfless expertise Because of you, I know there's hope in humanity S-M-I-L-E Oh you make the corners of my mouth defy gravity S-M-I-L-E This is how I'll say thank you for inspiring me Thank you for being so outstanding In all that you do Thank you for persevering When no one sees what you do You've got a heart of gold And in case you didn't know It's necessary that I spell it for you S-M-I-L-E Oh you make the corners of my mouth defy gravity S-M-I-L-E This is how I'll say thank you for inspiring me

I won't say goodbye I won't say goodbye For we only part to meet again So I won't say goodbye We have come so far We’ve loved until it hurt I see beauty in your scars Written in your soul Was a depth I longed to know Took me years before you let me in Go where you belong Pack your memories in your suitcase Wear a smile on your face You will be strong We're separate but not apart Like a circle with no end Our friendship will go where you belong There’s so much you say With the silence in between us How does time stand still and pass so fast I knew it’ll come to this Still in us I took a risk What we've built won’t be put to waste

Devoted 04:55
Sometimes, I wonder about life Seasons come seasons go Life so often deals a blow Yet through wars and famines, wounds that tear I’ve a special friend who turns to prayer She shows me what it’s like to trust in Him ‘Cos His love overflows at the brim Shines with grace and pace whenever she talks With a faith that weathers the storms But the most wonderful thing of all is she’s wholly devoted to Him She tells me life is not all rosy But that God will show us His mercies He has fitted us with a purpose and plan These are words of wisdom from my friend

She was a regular girl next door Chasing seconds that ticked on the wall Building sandcastles of dreams One day, she had a sudden knock on her door The stranger came and started a war Drowning her sandcastles within All her crowns of yesterday Broke and flew away As the dawn broke and senses wake These words sang in her head Life is like a giant playground, It’s a climb up or a ride down the slide Your wind give me wings to fly… and ride Enter pain, he crept by to visit her fall Stripped her pride and dug up a knoll Of loneliness and heartache Then came hope, he came by and planted a trace In her mind and birthed daily grace Even when she couldn’t see All her crowns of yesterday Broke and flew away As the dawn broke and senses wake These words sang in her head Life is like a giant playground, It’s a climb up or a ride down the slide Your wind give me wings to fly The bully’s gone now, he was chased out by a bigger and stronger Hero who picked me up from the dusty sand It’s no myth that we can stand after the fall and ride on Standing at the edge of unknown Looking for a light Waiting for a sign from above To cross over and take flight Life is like a giant playground, It’s a climb up or a ride down the slide Your wind give me wings to fly The bully’s gone now, he was chased out by a bigger and stronger Hero who picked me up from the dusty sand It’s no myth that we can stand after the fall and ride on

Live Today 04:18
You’re embarking on a journey To find yourself Paint the world with your sunshine, dance your way into love, put yourself in somebody’s shoes You’ve been looking for the answers To who you are But all that soul-searchin’ Will still lead to nothin’ Unless you cross this bridge So let go of familiar places familiar faces today The old is gone, the new is here to stay Your fear is breaking, your dreams awaking Make the climb today Take a leap of faith and live your life today You’re like family, it’s not easy To let you go There is grace in your speech, a bounce in your step, you smile and stand in the gap Where the wind blows, you will follow There’s no end to growth And all that discoverin’ Has come to this one thing Got to cross this bridge Today Just take one step of the way Don’t worry You’ll get there Just take one step of the way

about

Diamonds on the Street enlivens communities and the city with hope through the arts. We believe in its power to heal, unite and celebrate lives.

We collaborate with communities in need of hope by co-creating music, stories and drama so that they are healed and empowered to be a voice of hope to others.

We shine a spotlight on the intangible things that matter such as love, loss, joy, sorrow, brokenness and hope.

Through life’s adversities, we come face-to-face with our weaknesses and in the process, we find strength to overcome our challenges. It’s the way diamonds are made – put into high-temperature, high-pressure conditions just before the carbon starts to shine.

That’s the story all of us have. Born from ashes and refined by fire, we live to shine a light.

“As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.” – Nelson Mandela
